^ They're actually east rather than south of Nats Park, but they look decent and should continue to add some visual diversity to the built form in that area (G1 with the angled balconies and G2 with its setbacks and hopefully good looking brick).

Beautiful buildings! The area south of I-395, from the Wharf to Audi the Anacostia River, has some nice architecture.

Definitely. It is going to be exciting to watch both Buzzard Point and the Bridge district, on the other side of the Frederick Douglass bridge, continue to grow.

Here is an update for a development at Buzzard Point.

A 500-Unit Conversion Planned For Universal Buildings on Connecticut Avenue
Urban Turf

One of the largest residential conversions in DC has been pitched for two prominent buildings on the northern edge of Dupont Circle. 

The Philadelphia-based firm Post Brothers has plans in the works to convert the Universal buildings at 1825-1875 Connecticut Avenue NW (map) into a sprawling residential development with upwards of 500 apartments. Post Brothers acquired the two buildings, which were built in the 1950s and sit across from the Washington Hilton, from JBG SMITH earlier this year.....

A welcome addition — that area is spotty in parts transitioning from Navy Yard to Buzzards Point. That’ll change with all the proposals.

I took a couple of more photos of developments in Southwest this morning. Between the Wharf, Buzzard Point, and various other developments, there is an incredible amount of growth in Southwest.

This is going to be a church with 197 apartments. This is located at 60 I Street, SW.

It looks like preliminary work has started on the development of the mixed-use building at 25 M Street, SW (corner of M and South Capitol Street). JBG is planning 249 residential units that will be above retail. A 7/11 is currently at the site.

Is the giant red and white broadcasting antenna on the site also being demolished or already demolished?

Is the giant red and white broadcasting antenna on the site also being demolished or already demolished?

I am not aware of what is planned for the antenna but this shows the absurdity of the Height Act. The radio tower is 281 feet but I am sure none of the tourists visiting the Mall, Capitol and Washington Monument are even aware of the presence of this tower, much less that it ruins any of the scenic views of Washington.

If a 280 tower doesn't ruin or block any views, allowing a 17 or 18 floor residential building in Van Ness or Friendship Heights next to the metro certainly won't harm any views.

I took these photos yesterday. The Rubell museum at 65 I Street, SW, is now open. There are also nearly 500 apartments next to the museum as part of the development that look nearly complete. This development is on the site of the former Randall School, which had been closed since 1982 (https://dmped.dc.gov/page/randall-school).
